John Murphy, Tirlán Chairperson, said: “On Farm Safety Week, we’re urging our suppliers to look at their farm with fresh eyes and ensure their workplace environment is as safe as possible every single day of the year to protect them and their families.

“Our Co-op is supporting Embrace FARM on behalf of our farmers with much needed funding in 2025 just as we have in years past.”

Founded by Tirlán suppliers Brian and Norma Rohan, Embrace FARM has grown into a vital support system for families navigating the aftermath of farm tragedies. With the average cost of support per family totalling €2,165, consistent funding is critical—especially in agriculture, which remains Ireland’s most dangerous workplace sector. This year’s funding will help Embrace FARM expand its expert-led services and reach even more families in need.

Lisa Tierney, Communications Support Coordinator at Embrace FARM, added: “Each family’s journey is as unique as the loss they’ve faced. The continued support from Tirlán helps us walk beside them in that journey, on their terms and in their time. It’s more than financial support, it’s a partnership built on compassion and shared values.”
